Code Unknown (Paperback)

Paperback. Cold cases do not stay still. Investigators like to believe that a closed box in a records room is inert-that paper does not change, that photographs do not move, that a sealed evidence bag holds only what was placed inside it years ago. This collection exists because that belief, however comforting, does not always hold. Across twenty-five departments, in twenty-five American cities, officers, technicians, archivists, and analysts encountered something that procedure has no adequate box for: evidence that changed after it was already filed. Not lost. Not mishandled. Changed. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
